Big Study: Vaccinated Kids 2-5 More Diseases than Unvaccinated

I typically do not repost articles written by other people.  However, with the debate about vaccines gearing up again due to the recent outbreaks of pertussis (whooping cough) I have been looking for more information about vaccines in general.  I will admit that I am not an expert on this subject.  On top of that, vaccines have such a polarizing affect on people that it is hard to find non-biased information about them.  This particular study out Germany was done to measure any noticeable increase in medical concerns in children who are vaccinated vs those that are not vaccinated.  What makes this study even more interesting is that it is one of the first of its kind since the vaccine schedule changes that we are seeing now.  With vaccine advocates demanding 100% vaccine rates and vaccine foes demanding more flexibility it seems logical that we should be looking at information like this to see what changes if any we have had in pediatric health since adding numerous vaccines to the recommended schedule. 

Keep in mind that in my recent post about the skyrocketing ASD rates in the United States, vaccines were found not to be sole cause.  They were determined to be a piece of the autism puzzle.  Could that be the case in other pediatric illnesses?  Further research will have to be done to determine that. 

For that reason, I have reposted this article submitted by Lois Rain.

New Study: Vaccinated Children Have 2 to 5 Times More Diseases and Disorders than Unvaccinated Children

Preventable Vaccine-induced Diseases

A German study released in September 2011 of about 8000 UNVACCINATED children, newborn to 19 years, show vaccinated children have at least 2 to 5 times more diseases and disorders than unvaccinated children.

The results are presented in the bar chart below.. The data is compared to the national German KIGGS health study of the children in the general population. Most of the respondents to the survey were from the U.S. (Click on the chart to see it better)

The data was collected from parents with vaccine-free children via an internet questionnaire by vaccineinjury.info and Andreas Bachmair, a German classical homeopathic practitioner. The independent study is self-funded and is not sponsored by a large “credible” non-profit or government health organization with political and financial conflicts of interest; hence Bachmair relies on Google ads and donations for revenue. Each one of the 8000 cases are actual cases with medical documentation. Three other studies had similar results according to Bachmair and are reported below.

No study of health outcomes of vaccinated people versus unvaccinated has ever been conducted in the U.S. by CDC or any other agency in the 50 years or more of an accelerating schedule of vaccinations (now over 50 doses of 14 vaccines given before kindergarten, 26 doses in the first year). Most data collected by CDC is contained in the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) database. The VAERS is generally thought to contain only 3 to 5 percent of reportable incidents. This is simply because only some immediate reactions are reported by doctors; but many are not admitted to be reactions to the vaccine. Most importantly, the VAERS numbers are only immediate reactions, which I would place with a few hours to a few weeks. Long-term vaccine-induced diseases and disorders are not recognized by parents or doctors when these conditions develop perhaps a few months to five years or more and would never be realized to come from multiple vaccinations. In other words, many children and adults have diseases and disorders that are vaccine induced and they never suspect they are from the vaccines, as this study indicates.

The comparisons of the health of vaccine-free children with the health statistics of the general population are the same as comparing unvaccinated with vaccinated. This is simply because the general population of U.S. children are nearly 100 percent vaccinated.

Only four of the unvaccinated 8000 responded with severe autism (0.05%) and these were said to be high mercury cases. On the other hand,  the results show about a 1% rate for autism in the unvaccinated over 3 years old–about the same as vaccinated children. So I asked Bachmair why the data does not show significantly less. He told me he had invited many autism groups and internet autism lists to participate and thus skewed the results accordingly. If the true rate is 0.5%, I calculated that only 40 extra respondents (above the true average number) responded yes to autism, it would skew the results by a factor of 2. If the true rate is 0.25%, only 60 additional respondents (above the true average number) of the 8000 responded yes to autism, it would skew the results by a factor of 4. So it would not take many respondents from these lists to skew the results significantly.

The only other bias in this study may include the fact that parents of unvaccinated children are obviously concerned about the health risks of vaccines, and are more likely to make other healthier choices such as feeding their children a much better diet and using more natural remedies and using fewer pharmaceuticals.

Now half the U.S. children suffer from chronic diseases and disorders and 21% are developmentally disabled. Yet the public health system always uses the sacred mantra “vaccine-preventable diseases” when referring to their top public health achievement of mass vaccinations. I think we should be talking more in terms of preventable vaccine-induced diseases.

Salzburger Study

Results: of 1004 unvaccinated children, had

Asthma, 0% (8-12% in the normal population)

A-topic dermatitis 1.2% (10-20% in the normal population)

Allergies 3% (25% in the normal population)

ADHD 0.79% (5-10%) in children

Longterm Study in Guinea-Bissau (1 Kristensen I, Aaby P, Jensen H.:“Routine vaccinations and child survival: follow up study in Guinea-Bissau, West Africa”, BMJ 2000; 321: 1435–41)

-The children of 15,000 mothers were observed from 1990 to 1996 for 5 years.
-Result: the death rate in vaccinated children against diphtheria, tetanus and whooping cough is twice as high as the unvaccinated children (10.5% versus 4.7%).

New Zealand Survey (1992) (http://www.ias.org.nz)

-The study involved 254 children. In which 133 children were vaccinated and 121 remained unvaccinated.
-Result:

Symptom	vaccinated	unvaccinated
Asthma	20 (15%)	4 (3%)
Eczema or allergic rashes	43 (32%)	16 (13%)
Chronic otitis	26 (20%)	8 (7%)
Recurrent tonsillitis	11 (8%)	3 (2%)
Shortness of breath and sudden infant death syndrome	9 (7%)	2 (2%)
Hyperactivity	10 (8%)	1 (1%)
